Is Rome Odunze playing today? Injury update, start or sit advice for Week 15 image

The Chicago Bears are hoping to get wide receiver Rome Odunze back for the Week 15 contest against the Cleveland Browns.

Odunze didn't play last week because of a foot issue. He was once again on the injury report this week and turned in three limited practices before drawing the questionable tag.

Ahead of another crucial game in Week 15 on Sunday, here's what we know about the second-year wideouts chances of suiting up against the Browns.

Is Rome Odunze playing today?

Yes, Odunze is expected to play on Sunday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

"The Bears are optimistic that WR Rome Odunze (foot) plays on Sunday, source says. He's listed as questionable and missed last week," Rapoport reported.

We'll get final confirmation on Odunze's status an hour and a half before the 1 p.m. ET kickoff on Sunday, but for now it looks like he'll go.

Rome Odunze start or sit advice

Odunze has done very little in the last three games he has played in, tallying seven catches for 82 yards and no touchdowns. He ranked as WR75 overall in that span.

Making matters worse, Odunze faces a Browns team giving up the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season.

There just isn't enough meat on the bone here to trust Odunze in lineups for the first week of the fantasy football playoffs.

Verdict: Sit
